One of the major design cues that separates the 2018 Corvette ZR1 from the C7 Z06 is the large hood bulge that covers the engine. Most Corvette watchers have pretty much come to the conclusion that the engine powering the ZR1 will be supercharged versus DOHC and its safe to say that it will be the same Gen V LT4 engine but with a larger volume supercharger.

I had the pleasure of meeting Sid Harchelroad two or three years ago at one of the Bash events and he tells us that he’s been a fan of what we do here at CorvetteBlogger.com. After learning more about his Chevrolet dealership in Imperial, Nebraska, I have found that the admiration is mutual. Please join me in welcoming Harchelroad Motors as a new sponsor!

Newly released spy photos came out at the end of last week which shows a convertible model of the 2018 Corvette ZR1 in Torch Red driving the streets of what we assume to be suburban Detroit. Our friends at Autoblog have the photos so if you haven’t seen them yet, you can check them out here.

Each week, Criswell Chevrolet’s Mike Furman delivers new Corvette Stingrays, Grand Sports and Z06s to his customers who come from all parts of the country to work with the nation’s top individual Corvette seller.

Mike kicks off this week’s Delivery Dispatch with order information on the new 2018 Corvette color Sebring Orange. Dealers received allocations for when the plant start backs up and Chevrolet is now accepting sold orders into the system again. Mike will be off next weekend and the first couple of days in October as he flies out to Nevada and Spring Mountain for a two-day Corvette owners school with a group of his customers. In addition to his new Corvette deliveries, this week’s round of throwbacks includes nearly 100 vintage black and white photos.

Check out even more photos and videos of his deliveries on his facebook page, CorvetteFurman.

The final weekend of the German ADAC GT Masters is upon us.

Last month we had the fantastic opportunity to visit Katech Inc. at their suburban Detroit headquarters. For 40 years now the team at Katech has been designing and building some of the hottest engines in the aftermarket and motorsports industries. Their power plants have found victory lane and taken championship trophies in NASCAR, IROC, Grand-Am, ALMS, and even the IRL. Their engines also powered the dominant Corvette C5R racers that won countless times in the US plus 6 triumphs at LeMans. Racing legends such as Dale Earnhardt, Johnny O’Connell, and Ron Fellows have piloted Katech powered racecars to victory lane.
